He is the candidate for Senate who is leading your candidate in the four most recent polls by 5%,8%,8% and 5% respectively and will be elected on November 2nd.
An appointed Senator who bought the primary and supported an unpopular President’s agenda which has brought our country to its knees, is what I find offensive.
The decision is clear.
In 2009 106,000 Coloradans lost their jobs and the economists are predicting another 30,000-40,000 job losses.
Some recovery summer.
let’s review how your candidate took out Norton in his primary, since he was incapable of raising sufficient funds of his own.
And keep in mind, this article was written back June 2010, long before the heavy saturation of tv ads that occurred in July.
The Tea Party, Jim DeMint and 527’s own your candidate, H-Man. Try to be grateful and remember that folks in glass houses should refrain from tossing boulders, H-Man.
The Republican primary was basically an equal fight, albeit from differing sources. Bennet outspent and had other spend on his behalf Romanoff by about 10 to 1. Not exactly a fair fight.
who in hell spent 3/4-million dollar to buy Ken Buck?
Inquiring minds want to know who owns the candidates.
I am a conservative and I take offense of you throwing Norton under the bus. She ran a good race.
It’s true she received some lobbyist money, but so did Buck. What she didn’t benefit from was tremendous amounts of money coming from 1 donor.
I didn’t say Norton did not run a good race.
I pointed out Norton got over $500K in PAC money.
Buck got about $10K in PAC money.
In the Republican primary, the money was about even, just from different sources.
In the Dem primary Bennet had about a 10-1 advantage.
Source?
or
MUS
And why would we want to elect them?
DA: Right wing PAC that has endorsed most of the teaparty candidates this cycle, questioned President Obama’s eligibility to be President, has filed to have Justice Kagan disbarred. I could go on – but you get the picture.
Campaign for Liberty: Congressman Ron Paul’s PAC, as in Ron Paul for President 08 > CFL PAC: return to the gold standard, rename MLK Day “Hate Whitey Day”; Citizens (white men, and everyone else. That Ron Pual.
Americans for JS: Strangely well funded 501 (c) 60 that makes anonymous donations, not always on their donor’s behalf. Because they are no trequired to report donations or other contributions – they don’t. They do share offices with Crossrads America, Karl Rove’s PAC.
Better to support the big bankers and elect Bennet. I’m sure that’ll go over well with the left.
Have you not been paying attention?
Even several of the further left posters right here on CoPols have issues with Bennet’s more moderate positions. Bennet is for left leaning moderates in 2010.
At least the “bankers” are American companies with American employees and business. Why do you hate American companies?
Are they going to hold their nose and vote for him, despite the fact that he will do more to quash unions than even Buck? He still hasn’t taken a position on the EFCA.
they’ll evaluate the candidates any way they choose, choose which one is best or vote against the one that’s worst and vote.
will continue to try to educate you, marilou, H, ‘tad, and OBR. You folks are way too afraid of losing support to correct each other as many others do here every day.
Is Romanoff doing anything meaningful to support Bennet?
I got an email last week from Romanoff that sought campaign donations for Bennet prior to the Sept. 30 deadline.
Rename MLK, “hate whitey day”?
The dial up a bigot Dem slander machine is working overtime.
You want to lose even more independents? Keep up the good work. They also don’t see reality only through a racial lens.
Buck recieved significant benefit from AJS. Norton got Republican PAC money. Bennet got millions from Dem PACs. Romanoff sold his house.
Both candidates were helped out by outside funding. The difference is the groups helping Bennet weren’t shadowy groups with vaguely patriotic names taking advantage of the Citizens United travesty.
Ron Paul’s newsletter – you know, the guy who ran for President in 08 and when he dropped out started the PAC that is spending so much money on Buck.
Just like the Declaration Alliance.
I would think you would recall that FEC complaint filed earlier this year against the Buck campaign for coordinating with 527’s and others in an alleged conspiracy to funnel contributions in excess of the maximum allowed contribution to Declaration Alliance so they could be spent on behalf of Buck.
I am aware of AJS spending. I am aware to a much lesser extent of Ron Paul’s PAC spending. I am unaware of any spending by the Declaration Alliance on Buck’s behalf.
public record that would show us all the expenditures on behalf of a candidate or his campaign.
FEC.gov used to work pretty well – but now that “outside” groups can spend as much as they want and not have to report it as campaign support it’s much less useful.
If, otoh, you have some inside information about Declaration Alliance and what they have or have not spent, please feel free to share.
Yeah, that’s a shocker.
that there’s a poll coming out next Tuesday that will suggest 53% of extremely excited voters think Declaration Alliance has spent millions on Buck’s behalf.
There, now do you believe it?
I did some canvassing over the weekend.
Real voters perk up when they understand that the would-be Senator from Weld County does not believe in a woman’s right to choose after she is raped.
Nor that SS is even Constitutional.
That medical insurance for those with pre-existing conditions is socialism.
That he talks tough about bullshit and the Taliban but he has zero military experience and the bullshit he’s got on him is exactly right.
comes from none other than Sharon Angle of Nev.
“There may be five or six of us,” she says, listing the Tea Party candidates. “Possibly Marco Rubio is real, but that’s a stretch for me.”
So who was it that she listed as being real? Well:
“Joe Miller (Alaska), Ken Buck (Colorado), Christine O’Donnell (Delaware).”
What a fine TP duo for him to be in the middle of.
http://www.michelepac.com/bach…
What does she have against Buck?
Probably best not to be accepted by her. It ends up giving him a small sliver of credibility.
Not about social issues, but the flip-fopping.
And the selling out the prosecution case.
It’s easy and has universal appeal. “Buck is against abortion” resonates with a few people. “Buck will say anything his audience wants to hear about abortion” resonates with everyone.
about the raid on a tax preparer in Greeley during his illegal immigrant witch hunt that was tossed out by the courts?
You’d think Bennet’s campaign would realize that real people don’t like the idea that their tax returns could be subject to seizure by an ambitious DA.
I haven’t a clue why Bennet’s people haven’t done something with it.
tax returns and seized thousands?
Or is there another one/
